Step-by-step Guide
Note: This process was completed with Platinum/Graphite Lava Stone in the Lynia™ range.
 | STEP 1 We recommend you apply LavaSeal prior to installation and grouting. Start by sealing the Lavastone panels with a lint free cloth or similar, one coat, when dry apply second coat. |
 | STEP 2 Ensure that you have completely covered the surface with the first coat, as shown. Wait to dry. |
 | STEP 3 Now dry and ready to be adhered to substrate, no colour change when dry. |
 | STEP 4 Screeded substrate with 6mm notched trowel, a thin bed is required to stop any adhesive squeezing through the gaps when the stone is applied. The compressed bedding adhesive should be less than 10mm or less. Also recommended, a thin bed applied to back of Norstone tile as well. |
 | STEP 5 Applying the Lavastone and using a grout float to pat it down on the surface to ensure full contact. |
 | STEP 6 Fixed Lavastone waiting for adhesive to dry and then grouted. |
 |   | STEP 7 Applying the grout, you can see why it would be impossible to avoid filling the holes and why it was necessary to pre-seal. |
  | Step 8 Cleaning off excess grout. This is a much more simple process when working with a pre-sealed surface. |
 |  | Step 9 The panel shows the visual difference with once section completed with light grey grout and the other done in dark grey grout. |
 | IN SUMMARY... With Lynia™, and other stone cladding panels requiring grouting, it is our recommendation that you pre-seal as above. This will make sure the grouting material cannot become permanently stuck to the main surfaces of the panels and makes the cleaning up process much more straightforward.
